A summer argument in Tacoma turned deadly on July 15, 2024, when 33-year-old Sean Miller was shot multiple times and died at the scene. The confrontation began after a dispute with another man; Miller left, but the other man pursued him by vehicle. The chase ended near East 28th Street and East R Street, close to the Emerald Queen Casino and Interstate 5, where the pursuit escalated and the pursuer shot Miller. He was pronounced dead despite attempts to save him, Tacoma’s 13th homicide of the year.

Police have identified the man who followed and shot Miller. That individual has a lawyer, gave a statement to authorities, and is said to be cooperating with the investigation. No arrests have been announced, and the Pierce County Prosecutor’s Office is expected to review the case. Miller’s family remembers him as a beloved brother, son, and uncle and a plumber who recently earned employee of the month; they have placed a makeshift memorial at the scene.

If anyone witnessed the chase or the shooting near East 28th and East R Street on July 15, what did you see or hear?
